Error [2002] the lobby server connection has encountered an error

[Anvagar]

Main site says it's been taken care of (http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...27f4d2921cf276)
BUT I'm still unable to log in. It has been so since Sunday evening.

Chaos data center, Phoenix Server

Kinda shame, I've just started to play this game a few days ago...

BTW it's a bit odd they say it's ISP based. I'm using the very same ISP on a different location (but still same town) and everything seems to be working just fine. Same goes for PS3 version.

I'd be happy with gaming on PS3 but it's butt ugly ;p

EDIT: Confirmed this being a problem only on NA/EU data centers for me too. + other odd thing is when I'm trying to connect to EU data it gives me error 2002 AND a bonus of disconnecting my internet connection

[VolkeStark]

Even though they say it's fixed, I'm still getting the same issue. Has anyone here recovered from the issue yet?

Also having this problem. Repeated 2002 while trying to connect to Primal data center. World is Hyperion.


EDIT: Fixed my issue. Seems Bitdefender has an ongoing hatred for ffxiv. Had to disable bitdefender firewall functionality and start using windows firewall in order for it to connect.

Ever since the 2.16 patch I have been receiving the 2002 error...I've turned off my Avira Antivirus and am currently using the Windows firewall.

I'm also on Hyperion and am attempting to connect through the Primal data center.

Edit:
I port forwarded these ports and have been able to log into the game and stay on for brief periods before getting Error 90000:
UDP
55296～55551
TCP
80, 8080, 443, 55296～55551

During the brief periods that I am able to be online I experience really bad lag spikes.

Same thing happening here. I'm on Masamune, playing CT when got 90k. Then 2002. Unable to login for about 10 mins, kept getting 2002. Got in, lasted about 10 minutes... then was kicked in an Ultima HM. 90k, 2002. Can't get back on.

Come on, SqEnix. We're paying you for the service, FIX the service!

[Eudoxus]

From Hyperion in the Primal Data Center. Have had the 2002 Error before and after the 2.16 patch. Please help fix this issue as it seems to be affecting many people.

Same for me. Sargatanas Aether data center.

[Koku]

Data Center: Primal

Server: Hyperion

Unable to log in due to the Error 2002. Frequent attempts have been futile.

[HaploPatryn]

I have been trying to get into the PS4 beta all day, all fruitless, because of error 2002. It occurs as soon as I try to start, before I can even make a character.

[Sadrith]

Same. It's been really bad, only since the 2.16 patch for me. Sometimes I can log in, but everything will be completely frozen or rubberbanding for a few minutes, then I get 90k and 2002. It'll really suck if I can't cap myth this week...
